This research aims to analyze the effects of transportation infrustructure on industrial concentration in the Iranian provinces. For this aim, we have specified econometrics models and estimated them by using OLS with panel-corrected standard errors ‎for 28 provinces of Iran over the period 2001-2011. The results of econometrics models have shown that cost of transport has negative effect on industrial concentration in the Iranian provinces. %U https://jte.ut.ac.ir/article_59461_11e5bda347f22a46aeb5037d8b1ca73d.pdf
